STOP PRESS!

A limited number of bursaries for the conference are available, thanks to the generosity of the Centre for Scottish Culture at the University of Dundee. These bursaries are valued at £35 each, bringing the cost of full registration for both days of the conference down to £32 (the invited speaker rate). They are available to registered students who will attend both days of the conference, and will be available on a competitive basis. To apply for a bursary, please email a statement of no more than 150 words to Dr Norman Reid at nhr1@st-andrews.ac.uk, explaining why you need the bursary, and how it will be helpful to you. This statement must be sent BEFORE you register for the conference, and no later than 10.00 a.m. on Friday 26th May. Results of the bursary competition will be made known by the end of that day, along with details of the registration process for bursary holders.

Please note that the registration fees do NOT include accommodation, which is the responsibility of attendees.
